1. Stamp four acorns and cut out. Colour in three, then leave the remaining one plain to use as a stencil. Die cut a stitched slimline rectangle from white and choose where you want your secret windows to be. Trace around the acorn stencil in pencil and cut out the apertures. Blend green, yellow and orange distress inks starting from the bottom. Fold and adhere the tops of the coloured-in acorns to the inked panel, covering the holes.
2. Stamp two branches, leaves and four squirrels, then cut out and colour with alcohol markers. Adhere the squirrels behind the apertures. Run light grey cardstock through a woodgrain embossing folder, then place behind the panel to cover any gaps.
3. Trim white card to 2.5cm x 8cm, then decoratively cut the edges using the slimline rectangle die. Stamp a sentiment in brown ink, then adhere to the panel, 1cm up from the bottom. Fix the panel to an 8cm x 21cm yellow blank. Finish by adding the branches, remaining squirrel and leaves.
